Zero Trust Security Providers Transforming Enterprise Defense Strategies
cloudtweaks.comZero Trust is a cybersecurity model based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” Unlike traditional perimeter-based security, Zero Trust assumes that threats may already exist both inside and outside the network. As a result, no user, device, or application is automatically trusted.
Access is granted only after strict verification of identity, device health, and context and is continuously re-evaluated throughout the session.
This reduces the attack surface, limits lateral movement, and strengthens protection in cloud-first and hybrid environments.
- Identity-first access: All users and devices must authenticate with strong, adaptive methods such as MFA and SSO.
- Least privilege: Users and applications receive only the access needed to perform their tasks.
- Micro-segmentation: Networks and applications are divided into smaller zones to contain potential breaches.
- Continuous validation: Ongoing monitoring of behavior, device posture, and risk signals informs access decisions.
- Cloud-native enforcement: Zero Trust is often delivered via cloud services, SASE/SSE ...
